How Do You Keep Professional Natural Hair Without Losing Style?
One of the problems natural women may face is achieving professional hair while staying natural. We could probably just throw our hair into a bun or ponytail but there is so many other ways to style our hair for the professional world. Use this opportunity to be creative with your professional hair while staying natural.Twist It
Twists are a natural girl’s best friend. Twists are a great protective style and they can be fabulous at the same time. This hairstyle is good for women who are transitioning, because it blends the different textures of your hair. This video shows us how to turn a series of flat twists and twists into a beautiful protective style.Retro
Feeling a little retro? How about a twist on a classic roll and tuck? This adorable little number is perfect for long or short hair. All you need is some hair product and a few hairpins.A little Extra
Sometimes you need some extra hair to add some oomph to your style. How about exchanging your everyday bun with this more voluminous pompadour updo? Braids don’t have to be boring, they can be used in this style and more. Make your hair pop in the workplace!{end}
Natural hair in the workplace is becoming more acceptable as more women embrace their natural textures, refuse to conform and fight back against discriminatory policies. Many companies who once held policies that considered natural hair styles such as braids, twists and dreadlocks as unhygienic and unprofessional, have adopted new policies that have thrown stereotypes out the window.
What are some of your favorite natural hair styles to rock in the workplace? I especially want to hear from those employed in a corporate setting/field?
